[00:00:01] Bryan Entzminger:

Third letter. We have a God who is infinitely   gracious and knows all our wants. I always thought   that he would reduce you to extremity. He will come in   his own time, and when you least expect it,   hope in him more than ever. Thank him with me for the   favors he does you, particularly for the fortitude and patience which   he gives you in your afflictions. It is a plain mark   of the care he takes of you. Comfort yourself, then with him,   and give thanks for all. I admire also the   fortitude and bravery of Mr. God has   given him a good disposition and a good will but there   is in him still a little of the world, and such a great deal   of youth. I hope the affliction which God has sent   him will prove a wholesome remedy to him and and make him   enter into himself. It is an accident which should   engage him to put all his trust in him who   accompanies him everywhere. Let him think of him   as often as he can, especially in the greatest   dangers. A little lifting up of the heart suffices   a little remembrance of God. One act of inward   worship, though upon a march and a sword in hand, are   prayers which, however short, are nevertheless very acceptable to   God and far from lessening a soldier's courage in occasions of   danger they best serve to fortify it.  

Let him then think of God the most he can. Let him   accustom himself by degrees to this small but holy   exercise. No one will notice it, and nothing   is easier than to repeat often in the day these little   internal adorations. Recommend to him, if you please,   that he think of God the most he can in the manner here   directed. It is very fit and most necessary for   a soldier who is daily exposed to the dangers of life.   I hope that God will assist him and all the family to whom I   present my service being theirs and yours, and the rest   of the.
